[spoilername="Physical Description"]Dark skinned and skinny, Takeyashi is a byproduct of the harsh conditions of the desert. His short hair is a blueish-black color, an odd trait that he's never been able to find a good explanation for. His eyes are a deep brown and his brow has many crease marks from frowning often—these, too, are good indicators that he was raised in the blistering heat of Sunagakure. His thin frame betrays his lean strength and often makes him look scrappier than he really is. All of this aside, there's still the matter of his six arms: as a Hachiashi, Takeyashi developed his extra arms around the time he hit adolescence. A rather noticeable trait, the young boy doesn't try to hide them or make himself less conspicuous unless he's on a mission that requires anonymity.
In terms of clothing, he tries not to wear too much in the desert heat. A simple dark brown shirt, specially designed to accommodate his extra limbs by cutting off around his shoulder joint, fits his frame tightly. On each of his six arms, a golden band is worn that fits loosely enough to move but tight enough to not come undone. Around his neck he wears a loose fitting, tan-colored, cloth that billows around his neck and drapes down his torso and back, covering his skin from the sun's harsh rays. This cloth, adorned with the emblem of Sunagakure on its front, can also double as a face mask by pulling the cloth up and over his nose, thus obscuring his face from any onlookers—a particularly useful asset if he is out on an assassination mission. Several belt pouches can be seen on his waist, carrying all the various supplies that he might need on a given mission. A pair of tan baggy pants cover his legs, being loose enough to allow the fabric to be quite breathable. Over these pants he wears a dark brown covering — the same color as his shirt— with golden trim around the edges. This covering parts at his right leg, allowing for full range of motion while preventing more sunlight from hitting him. His calves are bare, and only a pair of sturdy, yet minimal, sandals protect his feet — wearing heavy boots in the desert terrain would be rather uncomfortable and difficult to work with given the terrain.[/spoilername]
[spoilername="Mental Description"]Takeyashi's personality is best described as thorny and vicious around the edges, with a soft side buried deep within the recesses of his mind. He is blunt to a fault, and is often times too stubborn to admit when he's crossed the line. Cynical and mistrusting, he tends to be the first to point out flaws in anything and usually hates to work in a team — he'd rather endure torture than admit when he's wrong or needs help. He often performs his duties as a shinobi with a malevolent and often sadistic enjoyment, seemingly getting pleasure out of watching people in pain or otherwise suffering. Oddly, Takeyashi has a great deal of loyalty and respect for other shinobi within Sunagakure, though he tends not to outwardly show it. While he can be rather nasty towards other people, shinobi of Sunagakure typically find that they are spared from his wrathful and demonic nature. While around other Sunagakure shinobi, Takeyashi can be described as reserved and quiet. His usual cynicism and pugilistic nature seems to melt away in favor of a calm and rational persona.
Motivation is never an issue for Takeyashi — typically, he finds entertainment for himself by tormenting his clients, civilians, or even his targets. Money doesn't do much for him, but a fine battle will really start to get his blood boiling. Takeyashi gains an immense amount of pleasure from successfully breaking down his opponent, both mentally and physically. Always aiming to be stronger, he revels in his training and honing his skills. His real motivation, however, is much simpler: he truly just wants to be accepted for who he is. He has a long history of being ridiculed and mocked by civilians, and as such despises and desperately seeks the acceptance of other people. He wants nothing more than to find a place where he can just be himself. To that end, he has found a home among the shinobi of Sunagakure — in this village, it matters little what sort of body he possesses so long as he is able to aid the village. Because of this, Takeyashi considers Sunagakure to be his one true home. As such, he'd do anything to defend or aid the village.
Takeyashi is, surprisingly, a rather big fan of poetry. A hobby he picked up at a young age from his Auntie, Takeyashi will sometimes scribble down verses he thinks of. He also is a bit of a stickler when it comes to cooking — when he's at home, after a long day of training or when out on a mission, he likes to cook rather eclectic and sometimes extravagant meals. He's often able to turn even a simple rabbit into a delicious stew out in the field. He also enjoys astronomy and will sometimes pair his late-night stargazing with his poetry, producing some of the most beautiful poems about the vastness of the universe. One thing he can't stand, however, are children. He's very easily irritated by small kids, and is known among the schoolchildren to be very scary. It also bothers him when he's bossed around by someone whom he considers to be under him. It isn't unheard of for him to injure his employers if they speak down to him. What he absolutely hates the most, though, is being sick. He gets very upset and temperamental when he's bed-ridden, and will often times sneak out if he's left in a hospital bed for too long.[/spoilername]
[spoilername="History"]Takayashi did not have parents growing up — he was raised by his Auntie, who was his mother's sister, and his Uncle. They lived happily together, commoners in the subterranean city of Sunagakure. His Auntie told him about how his parents used to be shinobi for the village, but had been killed in combat during a mission. Takeyashi had always been proud of them, knowing that they had been brave and honorable shinobi. But his Auntie saw it a different way— she just wished they were still alive. Still, Takeyashi couldn't help but be proud of his parents and the sacrifice that they made. He wanted to be just like them, wishing for nothing more than to be able to join the Academy. After all, he was already 11, and a lot of his friends had joined already! He would be a proud warrior too, and honor his parent's memory by being just as great as they were! But his Auntie would never allow it. She forbade him from joining the Academy, and became very cross whenever he brought the subject up. Not while she was alive, she would always say.
But Takeyashi was stubborn, even as a kid. He was determined to be a fine shinobi, even if he couldn't attend the Academy. He'd find another way. So, in his spare time, he would go to the library and read about the shinobi arts. He taught himself in private, knowing not to tell his Auntie that's what he was doing. After all, she'd have been very cross with him if she ever found out. After a while, he began to practice jutsu on his own. Spending whole afternoons out in the training grounds, he would tirelessly hone his skills. Even without the guidance of the Academy, he would still grow to be a fine shinobi. Eventually, he became confident enough in his abilities to challenge some of the other kids that attended the Academy. He told them he wanted to try out his skills, and they agreed. He fought a few of them, using every ounce of his strength that he could. He pushed himself to his limit, using every bit of chakra at his disposal. But then, in the middle of one of his fights, a surge of pain overcame him. He fell to his knees, feeling his body getting weaker. His head started to hurt, and his vision became blurry. Darkness faded over his vision, and he felt the pull of gravity as he slouched onto the ground. He remembered hearing one of the Academy students calling for a teacher before he blacked out.
When he awoke, he was groggy at first. His vision was pure white, blinding in its brightness. It took him a few moments to realize he was in a hospital room, and it took him a few moments more to realize his Auntie and Uncle were there too. His body still hurt, but he felt like he'd be okay. His Auntie and Uncle had worried looks on their faces, so the young Takeyashi gave them a cheerful grin to let him know that he'd be okay. But when they're looks of worry didn't go away, he became confused. Slowly, feeling in his body came back to him; however, something didn't quite feel right. He felt heavy, and his arms felt weird. He looked down to see what was bothering him so much, and was greeted with a confusingly strange sight: he had grown an extra two pairs of arms. At first, the shock of seeing it didn't hit him. He heard his Auntie and Uncle say something, but it was drowned out in his head. Then it all came crashing over him. He began to throw a fit, his brain not able to accept what was going on. It took his Auntie and Uncle at least twenty minutes to calm him down.
When he had finally settled down, his Auntie began to talk. She told him that she'd been lying to him for a while, to protect him. She explained that she wasn't his mother's sister, but had been a close friend of hers. She told Takeyashi about how his parents had not been shinobi. They were clansmen of a hidden family, known as the Hachiashi. They possessed a unique kekkei genkai, giving them an unusual connection to spiders. They hid from the world because of their abnormal bodies: with six arms each, and the odd abilities to produce webbing out of a special mucus they produced, civilians and other commoners were fearful of them. Dreaded as monsters and demons, the clan was forced into hiding for fear of persecution. Takeyashi's mother and father had both been members of this hidden clan, and his Auntie had become friends with his mother when she accidentally stumbled upon their village. Treated as a member of their own family, Takeyashi's Auntie was the greatest friend his mother had ever had. That was why, when his mother came to her, Takeyashi's Auntie was glad to help. It had turned out that when Takeyashi was conceived, his mother and father grew afraid of the life their child would have. They knew that if they raised him and taught him the arts of their clan, he would never be able to live a life free from persecution. He would be hated, and hunted, just as they were. They wanted a better life for Takeyashi, and asked his Auntie to raise him instead. If he lived his life as a civilian, spared from the shinobi arts that would be his curse, he would grow into a healthy and normal adult. The clan's abilities would only manifest through the training of the chakra coils, and only during the adolescent years of development. After that time had passed, his abilities would remain dormant and inert — he would never have to endure the things they had to.
Of course, his Auntie had agreed. She and her husband took the child in, and raised him with love. However, a few months after Takeyashi's parents had asked his Auntie to take care of him, the hidden village of the Hachiashi Clan was pillaged and looted. Another local village, fearing for their safety, had found the hidden village and attacked them during the night. No one was found alive the next morning, and the bodies of Takeyashi's parents were never found. Grief stricken, Takeyashi's Auntie vowed not to let their baby live through that kind of suffering as well. She would do everything in her power to give him a normal life, free from ridicule and mistrust. By the end of her explanation, she was in tears by her boy's bedside. Takeyashi held her hands, and assured her that he understood why she did everything. He said he would always love her, and that he was glad she had always tried to look after him. He assured her that he didn't mean to upset her by going behind her back, and that he was okay with how things had turned out. He was happy to follow in his parent's legacy, and would do everything he could to make a good name for himself. His Auntie and Uncle were touched by these words, but were still fearful of the way the other villagers would see him. A couple of days later, Takeyashi was allowed to return home.
Life seemed normal enough after that. It took Takeyashi a while to get used to his new appendages, but after he learned how to use them it turned out to be rather useful. He did his best to adapt to life after his abilities manifested, but there was something different about things now. Usually, he didn't stand out much. He was just a normal kid, who went about his business like everyone else. But now that he'd gained his extra arms, he quickly became an outsider to everyone else. He began to notice off stares and sideways scowls, even though no one ever said anything. He began to grow more self-conscious, and started to question why everyone was treating him differently. He was still the same kid, right? Did it really matter what sort of body he had? Over the next couple of months, it only seemed to get worse. By this time he was almost 12 — he was old enough to understand what was going on, but too young to really do anything about it. Maybe his Auntie and Uncle had been right to shield him from this life?
Everything came to a head, though, when he was walking home from the training grounds one night. He was particularly tired, since he'd pushed himself really hard during his training. As he walked along the road, he noticed a group of older kids following him. They looked to be about 17 or 18, but possibly a little younger. It was hard to tell at night, because they looked more threatening this late. Beginning to get worried, Takeyashi started walking faster to get away from them, but they just chased after him. When they finally caught him, they backed him into a corner and started insulting him. They called him a monster and a demon, and told him he didn't belong here. They said he should go back to wherever he came from. When he begged and pleaded with them, telling them he'd lived here his whole life, they merely laughed him off. No one would let a freak live here, they reasoned. There was no way he was one of them. They started to beat him, kicking and punching the boy until his face was black and blue. They didn't stop until he was barely breathing, at which point they left him there and walked off into the night laughing about how scared he'd looked.
That was when the seed of hatred began to grow in him. He tried not to be angry, telling himself that they were the only ones that thought that way. But he kept seeing those looks the other villagers gave him. That worried, fearful look, which spoke to their true feelings. They didn't trust him, just because he looked different than them. Just because he looked like an outsider, he'd suddenly become one. As the months passed, and he continued to get bullied and ridiculed, his heart began to grow darker. He became angrier, and less forgiving of the way people looked at him. He began to fight more, and always came home bloodied and bruised. He never told his Auntie why this was happening to him, because he didn't want her to feel like she'd caused this to him somehow. He knew that she knew, though. He could just never bring himself to talk to her about it. He would shoulder this pain himself, the pain that his parents had tried to shield him from. He now understood why they'd wanted a better life for him: the more he was called a demon and a monster, the more he started to believe it. He felt like an outcast, with no place where he belonged.
It wasn't until a few years ago, when the Diamond Maelstrom ended and the village began to move above ground, that things began to change for the young boy. During that time of turmoil after the Cabal attacks, many shinobi lost their lives. Low on personnel, the Sunagakure shinobi forces began actively recruiting at all levels of their operation. Retired shinobi were brought back into the force temporarily, capable outsiders were given a chance to join if they fought for the state, and even street hoodlums that showed promise were given a chance. That's how Takeyashi was found. After a street brawl, where the young boy had just beaten off some of the older kids who were picking on him, a man approached him. Not wanting to fight, the man introduced himself as a shinobi of Sunagakure. He said they were looking for able-bodied civilians, and wanted to recruit the young boy for training. What caught Takeyashi off guard, though, is the way the man looked at him. He didn't have the face of someone who was afraid of what the boy might do next — it was a look of promise, of genuinely wanting the boy to accept his offer. Without really thinking, Takeyashi accepted the man's offer.
The next couple of months, Takeyashi was given an informal training on the things he'd need to know as a shinobi. They found that his knowledge of techniques and chakra control were of a sufficient level, as well as his physical fitness. What he lacked, however, was a formal training in weaponry. They spent two whole months on weapons practice, preparing him as quickly as possible for the field. Due to the limitations on manpower and resources, he was graduated from the Academy after just those two months and deemed qualified to be a Genin. He worked hard in his new role, even though his Auntie and Uncle disapproved. Takeyashi, however, hadn't felt at peace like this for a long time. He was finally somewhere that valued his abilities and skills regardless, despite his body and his appearance. These were people that respected him for a job well done, and praised him when he excelled in something. Though he'd grown cynical and cold from the years before, and still faced the stares of civilians every time he walked the streets, he felt like he truly had a place he could call home.
He trained hard, doing everything in his power to impress the shinobi of Sunagakure. Takeyashi had grown a deep sense of respect and loyalty to the village, the place that had accepted him after all of this time. He worked hard to prove himself, to show that he truly did belong. But most of all, he worked hard so that he could be useful to the village that had taken him in. He would prove to them, and everyone else, that they hadn't made a mistake by recruiting him.[/spoilername]

It took him a few moments to realize he was in a hospital room, and it took him a few moments more to realize his Auntie and Uncle were there too. His body still hurt, but he felt like he'd be okay. His Auntie and Uncle had worried looks on their faces, so the young Takeyashi gave them a cheerful grin to let him know that he'd be okay.

When he had finally settled down, his Auntie began to talk. She told him that she'd been lying to him for a while, to protect him. She explained that she wasn't his mother's sister, but had been a close friend of hers. She told Takeyashi about how his parents had not been shinobi. They were clansmen of a hidden family, known as the Hachiashi. They possessed a unique kekkei genkai, giving them an unusual connection to spiders. They hid from the world because of their abnormal bodies: with six arms each, and the odd abilities to produce webbing out of a special mucus they produced, civilians and other commoners were fearful of them. Dreaded as monsters and demons, the clan was forced into hiding for fear of persecution. Takeyashi's mother and father had both been members of this hidden clan, and his Auntie had become friends with his mother when she accidentally stumbled upon their village. Treated as a member of their own family, Takeyashi's Auntie was the greatest friend his mother had ever had. That was why, when his mother came to her, Takeyashi's Auntie was glad to help. It had turned out that when Takeyashi was conceived, his mother and father grew afraid of the life their child would have. They knew that if they raised him and taught him the arts of their clan, he would never be able to live a life free from persecution. He would be hated, and hunted, just as they were. They wanted a better life for Takeyashi, and asked his Auntie to raise him instead. If he lived his life as a civilian, spared from the shinobi arts that would be his curse, he would grow into a healthy and normal adult. The clan's abilities would only manifest through the training of the chakra coils, and only during the adolescent years of development. After that time had passed, his abilities would remain dormant and inert — he would never have to endure the things they had to.
Of course, his Auntie had agreed. She and her husband took the child in, and raised him with love. However, a few months after Takeyashi's parents had asked his Auntie to take care of him, the hidden village of the Hachiashi Clan was pillaged and looted. Another local village, fearing for their safety, had found the hidden village and attacked them during the night. No one was found alive the next morning, and the bodies of Takeyashi's parents were never found. Grief stricken, Takeyashi's Auntie vowed not to let their baby live through that kind of suffering as well. She would do everything in her power to give him a normal life, free from ridicule and mistrust. By the end of her explanation, she was in tears by her boy's bedside. Takeyashi held her hands, and assured her that he understood why she did everything. He said he would always love her, and that he was glad she had always tried to look after him. He assured her that he didn't mean to upset her by going behind her back, and that he was okay with how things had turned out. He was happy to follow in his parent's legacy, and would do everything he could to make a good name for himself. His Auntie and Uncle were touched by these words, but were still fearful of the way the other villagers would see him. A couple of days later, Takeyashi was allowed to return home.
Life seemed normal enough after that. It took Takeyashi a while to get used to his new appendages, but after he learned how to use them it turned out to be rather useful. He did his best to adapt to life after his abilities manifested, but there was something different about things now. Usually, he didn't stand out much. He was just a normal kid, who went about his business like everyone else. But now that he'd gained his extra arms, he quickly became an outsider to everyone else. He began to notice off stares and sideways scowls, even though no one ever said anything. He began to grow more self-conscious, and started to question why everyone was treating him differently. He was still the same kid, right? Did it really matter what sort of body he had? Over the next couple of months, it only seemed to get worse. By this time he was almost 12 — he was old enough to understand what was going on, but too young to really do anything about it. Maybe his Auntie and Uncle had been right to shield him from this life?
Everything came to a head, though, when he was walking home from the training grounds one night. He was particularly tired, since he'd pushed himself really hard during his training. As he walked along the road, he noticed a group of older kids following him. They looked to be about 17 or 18, but possibly a little younger. It was hard to tell at night, because they looked more threatening this late. Beginning to get worried, Takeyashi started walking faster to get away from them, but they just chased after him. When they finally caught him, they backed him into a corner and started insulting him. They called him a monster and a demon, and told him he didn't belong here. They said he should go back to wherever he came from. When he begged and pleaded with them, telling them he'd lived here his whole life, they merely laughed him off. No one would let a freak live here, they reasoned. There was no way he was one of them. They started to beat him, kicking and punching the boy until his face was black and blue. They didn't stop until he was barely breathing, at which point they left him there and walked off into the night laughing about how scared he'd looked.
That was when the seed of hatred began to grow in him. He tried not to be angry, telling himself that they were the only ones that thought that way. But he kept seeing those looks the other villagers gave him. That worried, fearful look, which spoke to their true feelings. They didn't trust him, just because he looked different than them. Just because he looked like an outsider, he'd suddenly become one. As the months passed, and he continued to get bullied and ridiculed, his heart began to grow darker. He became angrier, and less forgiving of the way people looked at him. He began to fight more, and always came home bloodied and bruised. He never told his Auntie why this was happening to him, because he didn't want her to feel like she'd caused this to him somehow. He knew that she knew, though. He could just never bring himself to talk to her about it. He would shoulder this pain himself, the pain that his parents had tried to shield him from. He now understood why they'd wanted a better life for him: the more he was called a demon and a monster, the more he started to believe it. He felt like an outcast, with no place where he belonged.
It wasn't until a few years ago, when the Diamond Maelstrom ended and the village began to move above ground, that things began to change for the young boy. During that time of turmoil after the Cabal attacks, many shinobi lost their lives. Low on personnel, the Sunagakure shinobi forces began actively recruiting at all levels of their operation. Retired shinobi were brought back into the force temporarily, capable outsiders were given a chance to join if they fought for the state, and even street hoodlums that showed promise were given a chance. That's how Takeyashi was found. After a street brawl, where the young boy had just beaten off some of the older kids who were picking on him, a man approached him. Not wanting to fight, the man introduced himself as a shinobi of Sunagakure. He said they were looking for able-bodied civilians, and wanted to recruit the young boy for training. What caught Takeyashi off guard, though, is the way the man looked at him. He didn't have the face of someone who was afraid of what the boy might do next — it was a look of promise, of genuinely wanting the boy to accept his offer. Without really thinking, Takeyashi accepted the man's offer.
The next couple of months, Takeyashi was given an informal training on the things he'd need to know as a shinobi. They found that his knowledge of techniques and chakra control were of a sufficient level, as well as his physical fitness. What he lacked, however, was a formal training in weaponry. They spent two whole months on weapons practice, preparing him as quickly as possible for the field. Due to the limitations on manpower and resources, he was graduated from the Academy after just those two months and deemed qualified to be a Genin. He worked hard in his new role, even though his Auntie and Uncle disapproved. Takeyashi, however, hadn't felt at peace like this for a long time. He was finally somewhere that valued his abilities and skills regardless, despite his body and his appearance. These were people that respected him for a job well done, and praised him when he excelled in something. Though he'd grown cynical and cold from the years before, and still faced the stares of civilians every time he walked the streets, he felt like he truly had a place he could call home.
He trained hard, doing everything in his power to impress the shinobi of Sunagakure. Takeyashi had grown a deep sense of respect and loyalty to the village, the place that had accepted him after all of this time. He worked hard to prove himself, to show that he truly did belong. But most of all, he worked hard so that he could be useful to the village that had taken him in. He would prove to them, and everyone else, that they hadn't made a mistake by recruiting him.[/spoilername]

Sell Backs:
All Jutsu listed in Jutsu Swaps are being sold.
Black Lotus and Lullaby Powder are being sold.
I know I have Puppet Augments bought, but I need someone to check through my User Notes to remind me which exactly were the ones bought. I don't know how tricky this is, because the site transition to the new board happened in the middle of me writing this all up. If this information can be dug up, awesome. If not, I'm fine to proceed without the Puppet Augments.
By my calculations, before adding in the cost of Puppet Augments, I should be getting ¥113,037.50 refunded to me after I sell my jutsu. After adding the cost of Puppet Augments, it should be slightly higher.
I should also be getting 873 ASP back from my Jutsu Swaps, and an additional 130 from my Terra Seal, which adds up to a total of 1,003 ASP. The link to where I spent points on my curse seal is here: https://ninpocho.com/viewtopic.php?p=231042#p231042
